About Hackensack University Medical Center
If you can, please call the emergency room ahead of time to speak with a physician to find out if you should come in to be tested. Calling ahead allows the health care providers to take proper precautions to limit exposure of the virus to others. A physician will screen you and determine if you can be tested. If you meet their criteria (exhibiting symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath), you may be tested. Note: Test supplies are limited, so only those that meet their criteria will be tested. Results take approximately 4 days.
